Hancock Memorial Methodist Episcopal church, I'hiladelp'ula. whera Mrs. Aimee Seiuide MePhersou a young evangelist from Los Angeles is conducting sen Ice, writes Frede rick W. Noreross in Hit Philadelphia Ledger. I Sixty persons, with all sorts of ail ments, sat in the front pews the other night attended by fathers, mothers, 'husbands, wives or other relatives. Several of tho sufferers weio taken into the church in wheel chairs. One ! woman. Mrs. I.eona Dixon, a sufferer from a malignant growth on the liver, was brought to the church from 1 t;i I tiiiioret. Mrs. Dixon hud been a sufferer for 'years. She was treated in a hospital in llaltimore, aud they gave her up. The hospital doctors told her hus band she had only three months to live. Mrs. Dixou was so weak she had to lie on a couch until tho ser vice started. She was curried from thci parsonage Into the church aud laid upon a cushion in a front pew. When her turn came, Mrs. McPher Bon bent over her, raised her to her ' feet and commanded her to lift her hands and face heavenwards. j Wulketl Alter Many Yean. "Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe- he can cure you?" she asked wlih her easier face close to the suf- fert r's. "Yes, yes, I believe," murmured the woman. "Oh. Jesus," prayed Mrs. McPhur h in with her arms clasped around th sufferer; "let thy healing power Mimiiii into this oody. Command ev i : y d.seased organ to be healed. Make tier' . hole: give her strength; thou canst i'o it, oh, Lord." Turning to the congregation, stie -Ud: "Pray for this woman. All oi - ou who believe Jesus can cure her, pray now, now!" The choir was singing; many women in the audience weie weep ing; (Very glance was riveted upon tlie two figures in front of the pulpit; i lie healthy young evangelist and the i emaciated little victim of disease. 1 "Como sister, now you are going to walk." said Mrs. McPherson, and began lending her, step by step, across the space by the altar rail. Before the service Mrs. Dixon col lapsed after attempting to walk ten , steps; now, however, new life seemed i to take possession of her. Holding the hand of the evangelist she walked across the front of tho church and buck again. "Praise (!od, I am better," mur mured the little woman. The woman's husband was crying Many women in tin congregation were crying. Others called out "won derful!"1 i "Do not gie me the praise, dive it to Jesus," cried the evangelist. "I am only his instrument. He works through me, and if you have faith you will be healed." Then she led Mrs. Dixon to a peat, where her husband clasped her In hi arms. They remained thus for two hours, until the service came to an end. New Sight to the Itlind. Raymond Kugtucnzahn, of Uoxbor ough. sat In a front pew with the others. He has been blind In his right eye since boyhood, when another boy grazed his eyeball with a pocket knife. He was able to distinguish only night from day through that eye. As young Itagmenzahn knelt at the altar rail, his fiancee stood behind him with her hands resting on his shoulders. The evangelist knelt In front of him. Close beside her were two of the. young man's chums, both kneeling and pray earnestly for his recovery. Mrs. McPherson prayed. She gazed Into the sightless eye as though commanding the veil to be removed. "Oh, Ood," sho prayed, "restore to this young man his sight. He he I. eves. Remove the veil. Thou cans! do It, oh. Lord, because thine Is the power. Itestore him. Oh (iod, re store him." ,bfnre the Injured e-ye. j "How many?" she asked. ' "One," replied Kagmensahn. Mrs. McPherson held up four fingers. "How many?" she- asked, i "Four," answered the young man. "He sees; Oh, God, ho sees!" cried the evangelist, looking up with a , flusned face. "He sees. Halleujah. Praise Cod!" shouted men and women through the auditorium. Tears flowed afresh. The young man's fiancee kissed and friends crowded around with con gratulations. The choir sang "Halle lujah 'Tis Done, 1 Believe in the Son." ' Ami I lobby Threw Off Hi Brace. I A little, stout, middle nged woman, I after discarding her crutch, almost danced across the space in front of the altar rail. "1 have no pain; 1 have- no pain!" she cried. "H is the tirst time in years." ; And so it went for two and a half hours. One of ihe most dramatic vents of the evening was the healing of little Hobby Locke. Hobby's mother was with him. She clasped her son in her arms and swept as she told how he iiad been a sufferer from in fantile paralysis several years. Very gently, Mrs. Mcpherson took ihe boy in her arms. She took off the bracts which inclosed the useless leg. "Do you believe Jesus will heal you?" she asked. "Yes, I do," said the hoy, crying. Mis. McPherson prayed, long and 1 fervently. i "Come Hobby," she said at length, j "We are going to walk. And Hobby walked with her hold ing her hand at first, and then with I out that assistance, j His mother, with a cry of Joy gath iered her son in her arms. Arid thev both swept. Mrs. McPherson threw 1-er arms about the mother and son and the three stood there, weeping in unison. Whoti the service ended, as eleven o'clock wns striking, little Hobby's brace and nearly a dozen crutches re mained on the platform beside Doc tor Crowtll's pulpit. They wet no longer needed.
